Entertainment conglomerate Disney has reportedly pressured a promoter to move a show featuring Machine Head, Throwdown and others due to concerns about "violent imagery, undesirable fans and inflammatory lyrics."

The bands issued a statement:

While the enactment of this new blanket rule applies to all upcoming heavy metal shows at the House Of Blues
Anaheim (with some metal bands having been banned from performing on name alone), Machine Head is the first band
to actually have tickets go on sale, and remain on sale for 2 months, before intense pressure and vague threats of
liability from the Corporation left the promoter with no choice but to remove the show from the venue.

The show was eventually moved to an alternate location and will take place in Pomona rather than Anaheim. You can find the full statement here.

Does anyone consider D3 to exist? I mean, D2 is awesome, but how can you go from winning the world championship to winning a prep school league title? And minimal scenes with Coach Bombay? I look at the Mighty Ducks as a 2 film series.

The Mighty Ducks movies ruined youth hockey for me. I had been playing for a while before the movies came out and overnight a bunch of kids started joining the pee-wee leagues and trying stupid knuckle puck shit. That got old real fast.

Hahahaha. That made me remember so much shit from that time. My team once tried the flying v, but it was more like a T and someone was called for Off-sides. Fuck. That's making me angry just remembering.

senior year in high school when i had to do that taking care of the baby thing, i named mine emelio estevez and pasted a picture of his face on the baby and made a mighty ducks jersey to put on him, it was halarious

Rad because why? This isn't rad...it's sad. (yea that rhymed unintionally...big whoop, wanna fight about it?) But seriously, even though Machine Head sold out quicker than they could bend their asses over and Throwdown isn't hardcore anymore and now has frat boy fans does not make this cool in any way. It just shows you how ignorant Disney is because regardless of personal preference towards these bands they are far from anything to be feared. Besides, it's the fucking HOUSE OF BLUES! There is nothing more wrong with having a Machine Head/Throwdown show than your company (Disney) owning a bar and selling liquor. Fuck you, Disney.

I agree wholeheartedly, if it was Propagandhi that was deemed 'undesirable' we would undoubtedly be reading comments about how this proves the points in prop's lyrics and a punknews lynch mob would be forming.

i always wonder why Goldberg got the starting job...Julie "The Cat" Gaffney was a far superior goalie. i also wonder how a minnesota pee wee hockey team could possibly be good enough to have its entire roster make Team USA hockey. And why Louis Mendoza was on Team USA when he couldnt even fucking stop on his skates. And how in the hell Aberman only got a two minute penalty for roping that Iceland guy....still though D2 Mighty Ducks is one of the greatest films ever.
